In 1915, the Turkish Government systematically massacred over one and a half million Armenians in what is widely recognized as the first genocide of the 20th Century. However, Turkey's official position is to deny and revise the historical evidence. The recent assassination of Armenian newspaper editor Hrant Dink in Istanbul shows that there are still some in Turkey who are desperate to bury the truth. In 2006, the French government passed a law making it a crime to deny the Armenian genocide. Yet in this country, George Bush has nominated a genocide denier to the post of Ambassador to Turkey. Please write the White House and your other elected officials to protest this disgraceful appointment.

To urge your elected representatives to support a congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide visit:
The Armenian National Committee of America also supports efforts to halt the continuing genocide in Darfur.
